It is the policy of Lawson State Community College that all employees eligible to receive leave benefits MUST report their leave (online) accurately and faithfully. Failure to submit leave and be unaccountable at work is a violation of policy and standard ethics practices.

Approval of Leave:

All types of leave, except sick leave, to include personal, professional and annual should be pre-approved by the employees direct supervisor and notification of leave should be submitted prior to the leave being taken.
